Edit: sorry for the double post. For some reason the first one had not the poll option included, it was impossible to vote. Thanks for your patience!

Hello dear supporters! It's time to vote for the release of May!
The current release, the Death-Tide Jurakins, will be live about day 3 :)
If you have pledged during March (based on Patreon timezone) but you hadn't the time to download the Set, please send us a private message here on Patreon, we will sort it out!

Theme Descriptions

And here a simple description on each theme models. Please remember that these races are not based on existing settings, we are building up our universe. As we develop the theme concept we possibly make some changes.

  • Plague-Mine Kobolds Worshipers of the ancient Shapeshifter God Melmor, the Kobolds are ignoble lizard-dog horned demons who move around hopping on two legs. These short wicked monsters infest mines by stealing precious minerals and replacing it with toxic ones in order to spread the plague of their god. Kobolds love to make fun of larger creatures by making horrible mockeries, like replacing children in their beds with Kobold puppies; to enter unnoticed human towns, they use their innate ability to shift into dogs. Additionally to mines, cities with sewage systems are teeming with these evil beings. Kobolds are very keen: few of them can boast great Arcane powers and many of them become expert thieves. No adventurer, initiate or veteran, should ever underestimate a Kobold.  
  • Bear-Tribe Great Goblins We like the idea goblin of any size and variety. Great Goblins from the Bear-tribe are the biggest mountain goblinoids in our universe, towering creatures with a fair amount of fur. They live in the mountains, and survive raiding human settlements, otherwise working as mercenaries for Orcs or evil barons from time to time. Great Goblins are less smart than tinkerer goblins from the Sparksoot Tribe, but are disciplined enough to have a strict military society and assemble little armies. Most of their equipment and armors will be scavanged from human resources, such horse metal armor here and there, peasant cloths and so on. Door as shield could be an idea!  
  • Eye-Cult Gryphkin Gryphkins are the people of the wind and the sky. These six-limbed creatures are covered in feathers and capable of great cunning and agility. The Cult of the Eye, however, is the most esoteric group of Gryphkins. They seek a powerful artifact called Eye of Tialevor, and their perpetual quest to obtain it has corrupted their hearts and appearence.  
  • Oni Clan In the Japanese folklore Oni are a sort of demon/ogre/orcs. It's a lot of time we want to make an oriental-inspired set of "greenskins". The Only Clan will resemble a group of powerful Orcs and Ogres from the mysterious east, with a slighltly demonic vibe.  

About the topic "what's in the Poll", there are no rules on what gets out and what get reworked. We are simply sketching what we are inspired to sculpt.  How many Sculpts will be part of the winning theme? As always, once we choose a theme thanks to this Poll we will spend the month to further develop/improve the core concepts and create the following sculpts:

  • 6 Modular Miniatures with Swappable Weapons, for various combinations!
  • Standalone Weapons for Loot, customization and our Weapon Racks!
  • 2 "Over-the-Top" Hero Miniatures.
  • 1 Mounted version of a Hero.
  • The Riderless Mount as standalone Beast.
  • 1 "Beauty of the Month", suitable as Miniature or display collectable.
  • A Scatter Terrain themed on the release.
  • A Sculpted special Base for each Miniature.

Wait, we have Massive Discount Codes for a limited time!

ARTISANCOLLECTION - Active from Day 1 to 10 each month The fist 10 days of each month are the best ones to get our previous sculpts in our Shop! This Code will work on any model we released so far. 30% DISCOUNT CODE: ARTISANCOLLECTION

DARKRITUAL - 4th Wave of Amazons! models and Depth Ones (till April 31) This combination of models from our recent Kickstarter and old releases suits the current theme. If you are a backer of the KS you already own some of these models! This code works also on our Dwarven Defender release! 50% DISCOUNT CODE: DARKRITUAL

Tucker Loper

Let's get Oni made so we can do Gryphkin for June!

Dalton Stewart

Ugh, firat jwrakjns, now oni? Why do so many people want stuff thats insanely situational?

Dane Aldeguer

Come oooon Oni!!!! Been wait for so long

Josh Blomquist

What would you prefer? Also most stuff that isn’t situational are done a lot or we already have it.

ArtisanGuild

perhaps we already have a huge library of common creatures in our Shop, who knows :) Either way we will make sure you can use Oni as orcs, hobgoblins and ogres,

Soulsick1988

i know, right? I would love some Bugbears - there is literally no good models for them .....

Guillaume

yes Oni is in the lead finally

Henry Evans

Because we already have 1000s of generic things like Kobolds etc. If it's situational make a situation to fit it, it's a game after all...

Robb

Oni Oni Oni Oni!!!!

James Grainger

First choice Oni, second choice Bugbears, on the fence with Gryphkin, I'm not sold 100% on the sketch with big wings like D&D Aarakocra, I'd be more partial to WoW Arakkoa with wings that have adapted into manipulative hands partially, or the Skeksis style with vestigial wings visible on their shoulders but now far too small for flight. No shade at your designs, just adding what I think is cool in case it inspires :)

Steve Holt

Why would you want something insanely common and easy to find???? Why wouldn't you want something you don't have and can't get?mm

Sdspecter

Chose Gryphkin, soooooooo not interested in orks, bugbears, or kobolds.

Mike Gonzalez

Oni with a strong initial lead. Got to say that my pick rarely gets in the top, but damn I enjoy watching the votes total in.

VagabondPrime

While I am really hoping for Great Goblins, everything you do is amazing, so it's not like I'll be missing out! The Oni look amazing, too!

J-Zarno .

I'll vote for oni since they might be removed after this month if it doesnt get picked, but man those bear-tribe look so cool tho! You should totally give one of the heroes a bearskin with the head attached to it as a helmet-cape combo

J-Zarno .

And bear-skulls for shoulderpads, but only on one shoulder tho, to make it asymmetrical

BoldNotBald

Agreed. Everything is great. I’m going for the Bear Goblins because I can use them as Bug Bears!

Joe Kushner

I have more than enough monsters. Is there any point where the Guild will be going back to human/PC style races? Elves/halflings/gnomes etc...?

ArtisanGuild

lol well something like that was the plan for a hero, probably a druid/shaman. They are not bear tribe for nothing ^^

ArtisanGuild

Next goal will be about character spellcaster (both wizards and battle clerics) :) So you'll receive them even if they don't get voted. 5500 goal

Caesarion

The dark ritual set is not from patreon and only available in the shop until April 30th?

Ed Smith

Oni actually has a shot this time!!!??

Dallas Adams

im voting for oni til we get em

Dalton Stewart

I never said I wanted something insanely common, lol. I just want something usable in every day games. How many times have you came up against an oni or a jerakin in DnD? I would like some good kobold models personally, as I frankly haven't seen much in the way of good looking kobolds. No matter what wins, I'll still support it, but I just prefer things I can actually use in a normal game

Tyrela

ONI please been wanting them for omths

Alan Chesna Vidal

Voted for the Bird guys. but Onis are pretty cool too. Hope next month the birdos get a chance!

Dalton Stewart

Not all of us are experienced enough at dming to fully homebrew a reason to use oni or jerakin into a game, lol. I'm currently dming Descent into Avernus and it's only my second time dming, so maybe, MAYBE, I could find a reason to have oni in it, but theres no reason jerakin would be there, lol. I'll still support Artisans guild regardless of what gets picked, I would just like more models I can actually use in my game

Torrential_Terrain

Oni please, I really don't like Kobolds and Goblins...

Ron Purvis

I'm loving your concepts, maybe someday we can get some Gnolls in the mix as well

Ted LeBeau

Oni! Followed by Kobolds. But Oooooonnniiiii

Brad Marsh

BOOO! We need Bugbears

Joshua Garner

Gotta be honest, these all look great. Haven't even decided which of my top 3 to vote for yet

WarjackedsWorkshop

Still wishing we had an option of Halflings or Gnomes to help round out the standard PC races in D&D. XD

Steve Holt

Not all of us play D&D. Not all of us use minis for their RPGs. These don't have to be "Oni" they can represent something else. Hell they can just have the stats of orcs or something physically similar.

WarjackedsWorkshop

Would go with Great Goblins but don't see them winning so going for the Kobolds. We don't have them yet anyways so no need for a sub race of something released already. lol

Mr. Future

Bear clan is literally bugbears, go Bugbears!

Nekrociist

Gimme Gimme Oni Clan~!

Rmey

It's cruel of you to ask us to choose between 4 dazzling concepts ! Shame on you ! 😉

Mattimao

Hope that the Oni Clan pulls out a win this time around!

ArtisanGuild

it's a mix of previous releases: Depth One Set (months ago) and 4th wave of Amazons (our recent Kickstarter). Only the discount code is active till end of april, models will stay in the shop

ArtisanGuild

it's in the plan, we will have short people when we come up with some cool sketching. Need to be inspired ^^

Steven Beasley

I would like to thrown in and ask for some humans that are rogues/ranger, wizard/sorc/warlock types. These would really help me out on my dnd characters :)

Sean McInnes

C'mon Oni Clan!!! You can do it this time!!!

Vendy

Let's go Oni! We want to see what AG has for them!

Jonnyballday .

Lets get those oni in since seems like there pretty far into the concept and plans sine one hero is done let AG take it easy for this coming month and then for june itd be all new choices!! Oni for the win please then maybe bear teibe next hehe

Jonnyballday .

Bear tribe if you go oni now we can make june bear tribe month XD

xspartanzx

Kobolds for sure. From a practical side, I definitely can see using them more in my games than oni clan

Logician

I vote Oni, cuz im weeb.

Brandon Rambo

Totally agreed. They're one of the most interesting low-high level threats in the game. Right there with goblins.

Joshua Grandt

I believe that we should follow what inspires our wonderful artists. The Oni have been worked on and I believe thats the next step in their creativity.... However I really want those Goblins or Kobolds

Glenn Lawson

Oni! We can come back for Goblins and Kobolds.

David Niehaus

Let's Go KOBOLDS... I have plenty of Oni... 😒

Mykal Wells

Yeeees oni!!!! gooooo oni!

Vu Le

The bear clan goblins look sick! would love to see them.

Alazardis

Finally Oni is leading!'

Lisa Kellogg

I am a bit disappointed that all of the choices are monsters their are no PC races for 2 months now monsters are fine but I would like to see humans and elves too.

cole murray

Actually I think there’s official rules for most of them. Volos guide to monsters has kobold, orc, bugbear, and hobgoblins Player races

Jason Brown

This is why I think a random mix of characters each month would be awesome.

Danny A.

My loyalty to the Oni is finally paying off! I love these different flavored orcs for my Shadow of Mordor-inspired campaign.

Dominic Ellis

Can I have them all? I'm not partial to any one since they all could be used very well..so hard to choose as usual..

ryan

We just had goblins, and kobalds are pretty similar to goblins, can we get some dragon born or even skeletons/undead

Chad Challman

As a DM, I'm not here for PCs. If I get some every now and then that's cool, but I much prefer grouped sets that I can build encounters around. So, to each their own and with over 4,000 supporters they won't always please everyone. They've done humans and elves, as mentioned. There's not a reason to go back and repeat it until they get a good idea, like with the oathbreaker Dwarves. I'd much rather have unique sets rather than repeating a theme that was already done.

Keith Nicholson

Oni has been in the last couple months. Its not worthwhile to non eastern style gameplay

Adam

KOBOLDS! 😁😁

Matthias Schobloch

For the artist it is not very exciting to design a million variants of the same three or four races, I think. For PC's I prefer Heroforge.com. I know, they are a bit more expensive but you don't need a lot of their miniatures, so I think it's ok. But it would be awesome to get some gypsi-style halflings

Jonnyballday .

lets go ONI!!!! lets get get them done obviously Ag wants to do them give them a win guys

Jeff

yeah, atleast then we wont have to have them take up another vote spot and we can get on to some sweet elves xD

Bernard II

Bring on the Oni Clan!

Jonnyballday .

Not sure if itd be elves and if it is hopefully itd be dark or high elves. But that was another point I was trying to make.

Paoloni Fabrizio

I like the new bear goblins .... but I insist on the Oni ... hopefully it's the right time: D We also hope that you will redo a set with characters reusable by adventurers (Halfling, Elves, Humans, Dragonborn, Tiefling, among the first that come to my mind. However gogogo ONI!

Jonnyballday .

Im sure most these sets will come at a later point for sure. Sounds like they have a lot of ideas they just need to be inspired to make up the sketches and what not.

Xi-Sheng Luo

I would love to see a "class" theme... like Monks of all kinds of races.... to fill a 'monastery' with 'warrior monks'

Baptiste

like i said last month jurkin, now oni ^^ and next month if no mmore interesting gryphkin ^^

Baptiste

@andrea do you prepare a fat oger in the eoni clan? litle inspired like rackham goblin?

demonwombatofdoom

I'm just sad one of them will be on the bottom, really do like all 4 of them.

Jan L

I really like bugbears ... but Oni Clan sounds cool as well .... I'm also intriqued with kobolds! I wouldn't be able to print them on my Ender though :DDD

McCrary's Hobby Room

I could get behind some Oni Clan! I wouldn't mind some expansions on current releases too! Who wouldn't want to expand their forces of dwarves (or whatever) as they use them to replace models from other popular games... ( I'm looking at you GW!) I'm using the Death-Tide Jurakins to replace an entire army of stupid sea elves.. prolly do the same with the dwarves too.

Thomas Kusch

Gryphkin ... Bird Minis are awsome

John Prew

Like all the ideas, but think its Oni time now 😁

Henry Evans

How does insanely common not equal usable in everyday games? Didn't cast n play just release a set of Kobolds too...

Pablo Ortega

I just purchased the Amazon files for this release on MMF, and the download link for Raktaa and Kaata on Panther are saying this: NoSuchKeyThe specified key does not exist.5e7cce66d43f3/threedfiles/kaata-princess-on-panther-amazons-kickstarter.zipobject-assets/object-assets/5e7cce66d43f3/threedfiles/kaata-princess-on-panther-amazons-kickstarter.zip1601A57EBCDF64E69dffabe5-763f-47c7-9729-609a01680a4e

The Painted Wookie

Hi, I see there is a scenery stone in the background on the picture for dark ritual can we purchase this yet? I cant see it on the store :)

Maeyanie

You might want to contact MMF about that. Sounds like a problem on their end.

Nathan

With Titan Forge having released the awesome Dragon Empire models in March, the Oni clan would be the perfect complement. Since Artisan Guild have wanted to make the Oni for a while, now is the ideal time! :)

treoni

I love all these themes! Whomever wins, I sincerely hope you'll keep the others as options for the next months! :)

Eli Butcher

I'm really hoping for the Kobolds. You can't find good Kobolds ANYWHERE. These look awesome. But as usual, all the offerings look cool.

House Hendoe

I'm sticking to the Gryphkin there's simply too few flying races of any intellect compared to Land or Ocean races. Also I can see from the posts these would be a unique challenge for you and I'd like to see and own the results of that.

ArtisanGuild

Have you seen Troubles in Taverns set? It's full of troublemakers, mostly humans. Next bonus set (free for patrons) coming at 5500 goal is a bonus set of wizard/clerics/warlocks ^^

Dave

Anything but Oni!

ArtisanGuild

well we had Alfar in january, perfect for ranger, priests and druids elves, and dwarves till yesterday, plenty of them. Also we did a human set last year and a full bonus set called Troubles in Taverns (mostly human rogues/troublemakers and few spellcasters). Next bonus set is about magic users, specifically PC races. The first charactera will get unlocked for free to all patrons at 5500.

Hawke1422

Stoked for your next release as always. So hard to choose.

ArtisanGuild

that's fantastic :) Sea elves is a cool concept by the way. We prefered to go fully fish for diversity... it's cool to sculpt different faces each month

ArtisanGuild

it is a problem on their end but we already contacted them 6 hours ago. We are really sorry! Looks like when there are mass sales (day 1 of each month) the server get these kind of errors. They are working on it. Luckly you still own the models, you bought them and once they fix the server issue you can just download them. No need to re-buy those, never, Sorry guys, we currently can't handle a personal shop

Podok the Mad

goblins and gryphkin, you're not gonna win, so you should switch to kobold!

Jason Skordilis

The bugbears and gryphkin join us! we cant lets orks win again... we already have orks but no kobolds! come on guys

Greg Russell

Looks like the discount code is not currently working for the dwarven defenders

Spidfire

Maybe time for a mainstream NPC month, with barkeeps, smiths, pedestrians and beggars and quacks, and ofcourse the local hooker?

Rob van der Zanden

Anyone knows if the supported(miniatures with supports, $18 pledge) version of previous month has been delivered? I don't see a post about that. I want to switch for this month.

John Prew

I got mine Rob, and I've seen that this months are ready to go already.

TreeSauce

Biiiiiiiiiiird men! Please!

Josh Blomquist

Yeah character sets would be cool for the next poll!

ArtisanGuild

they were delivered of course, and are now expired. Anyway we have access to the Tier monthly lists: anyone contacting us privately and asking for a month they actually pledged for will receive the models.

A.j. Anderton

Come on, kobolds! Just a few more votes to take the lead!

ArtisanGuild

We are releasing characters as freebies during the months. For example Troubles in Taverns Set or the upcoming Eye of Tialevor (clerics, spellcasters, warlocks, mages)

Tucker Loper

Please people, move your votes from Gryphkin and Bear clan to Oni, there are already way too many kobolds out there already! Then we can nab Gryphkin in June and Bear Clan in July!!

Josh Blomquist

Yeah I know but I’m greedy and I want a bunch at once haha I am stoked for the Eye f Tialevor though!

demonwombatofdoom

AG: I'm not sure if it is possible, is there a way to pay $8 for supported models of previous months that you've pledged for? perhaps a code for MMF?

charlie ballinger

Really wanting the Kobolds. Would love a good quality set of those lovable little cretins.

charlie ballinger

Also at some point this year I would love to see a Gnome based set. Especially with the Eberon book's recent release, it would be a cool artificer and some other caster themed Gnome set.

jimmy brownell

Also ORC KING has done a good set of Kobolds too... I do want to see Artisan Guild's take though cause I just love em! Can't get enough Kobolds...

Joey Wojtowicz

Is there a plan to do some sort of fae set? I would be interested in that! I haven't seen very many that are well done and I love painting wings.

Naes003

I don't really care what is picked this time. Regardless of what is picked I get MONSTER GIRLS!!! Can't wait to see what they come up with for the pinups and normal females.

Naes003

2 Oni Heros Idea. Red Oni, Blue Oni (Male/Female) Female being the bigger and stronger one.

Baptiste

Dark Fairy set choice could be amazing for next month

SuperHappyNihilist

Would absolutely love to see a beetle samurai in the Oni set, like the one from Kubo and the Two Strings! :D

Naes003

uuuggghhh! No beetle borgs....... that was a horrible show. When that came out my brother kept catching bugs seeing if any of them would turn him into a hero. And I found out cause they crawled into my bed next to the window.

Glitterwolf

I would love to see some Undead Egyptian, Meso American and Viking like minis one day. Love monsters and mythology. The ONI from this month are awesome.
